so about the only add-on is a moonroof. If you have a 240v plugging station at home and many EV charging stations in the areas you are driving in, electric is not bad. However, my biggest fear with a pure EV has always been not having enough charge to get to places. Having to keep up with charging your car is not the easiest thing to manage with so many other things to think about.

Depending on your needs, the plug-in hybrid is a good mid-way point.

Tesla is one of the very few cars that gives you a range similar to a hydrocarbon vehicle. It's very expensive in relation to other EVs, but you get the luxuries and the long-range of a Tesla.

When EV or hydrogen technology improves to longer ranges, I would seriously consider switching to one of those.
